It might not be hugely impressive as a game, but as a showcase for PSVR2 Call of the Mountain is staggering.
#HORIZON CALL OF THE MOUNTAIN SERIES#
Fans of the Horizon series will find lots to enjoy about the story and the way it links in with the main games, but for people like me who were left cold by the interactions in the mainline Horizon games the story in Call of the Mountain is by far the weakest part of the game. In Call of the Mountain you play as the internal monologue of Ryas, a man so uninteresting I soon learnt to tune his voice out until it became nothing more than an annoying hum in the background somewhere. In between the 'wow' moments (and don't get me wrong, there are plenty of them), I just couldn't help but feel slightly bored. So it's a shame then that the world and mechanics propping it all up are distinctly average. There were times during Firesprite and Guerrilla Game's collaboration where I was simply boggled by how beautiful it all was where panoramas of distant waterfalls and snowy mountains wrapped in the wreckage of long dead machines took my breath away, and where lush forests and glittering rivers made me forget the real world beyond my headset.Īside from maybe Kayak VR: Mirage, I don't think I've ever played a VR game with visuals as gorgeous as this one. Publisher: Sony Interactive Entertainmentįor many of PSVR2's early adopters Horizon Call of the Mountain will not only be their first experience of Sony's new headset but perhaps VR in general, and what an experience it'll be.They're all beautiful and memorable sights in their own right, but when it comes to video games, I'm pretty sure Horizon Call of the Mountain delivers some of the greatest virtual vistas I've ever witnessed. The Mavora Lakes in New Zealand, the Tokyo skyline, the reflection in my bathroom mirror of a morning. I've seen some fine views in my time on this planet. In addition to this, a Horizon MMO is also reportedly in the works with Sony and NCsoft.As a technical showcase for what's possible with PSVR2 Call of the Mountain excels, even if its world and mechanics sometimes fall short. This will include Zero Dawn and Forbidden West protagonist Aloy.Įlsewhere in Horizon news, earlier this year it was claimed a PS5 remaster of Horizon Zero Dawn is currently in the pipeline. "A master at climbing and archery, he will need to utilise all of his skills to survive the perilous journey for answers."Īs players make their way through Horizon's post-apocalyptic world on Call of the Mountain's release, they will come across both new characters and familiar faces. "Haunted by a difficult past and scouted for a dangerous task, Ryas has been offered freedom only in exchange for investigating a new threat to the Sundom," Guerrilla explains.
In Call of the Mountain, players will take on the role of former Shadow Carja Warrior Ryas. Get ready to step into the shoes (and put on the gloves) of Ryas.
In addition to this news, Guerrilla also released a trailer for Call of the Mountain, which you can see below. There is also the option to order the Horizon Call of the Mountain bundle, which will provide both the PS VR2 hardware and the game itself. Pre-orders for the game are now open via the PlayStation Store. Horizon's creator Guerrilla Games confirmed the news earlier today. Firesprite's Horizon Call of the Mountain will release alongside the PlayStation VR2 on 22nd of February.
